What is Flow?

Flow is Automation

Flow is a declarative development tool.

You can use visual screens to gather info from users and automatically update records.

The Flow Designer: Where the Magic Happens

It’s Magic!

Button Bar

Canvas

Palette Resources Explorer

Use Case: Case Management

Users leave post-its, phone messages, and emails with requests for new users and new features, which are hard to track and require follow-up to get details. So… We need a way to log each request and gather the information needed from the requestor.

We need a solution!

DEMO

Case Management

In Summary

•  We created a flow to automate new user and feature requests:

•  Gathered required fields

•  Set decision with branches for new user & new feature

•  We distributed the flow using Lightning App Builder to embed it in the homepage
